In modern geology we can state a paradoxical situation: on geological maps and sections of essentially any purpose time and space are geometrically combined, moreover, they are represented by a mass of rocks that can be characterized by a certain stock of internal energy, and the relationship between these fundamental physical parameters remains virtually unexplored.

The material world is cognized from two basic positions: energy-material and structural.

Quite a lot has been written about actualism in geology. And this fact alone indicates that the issue is not only complex, but also extremely important.

By geologic environment we will understand a complete natural system encompassing the earth's crust and considered from the point of view of practical engineering.

The change of layers in sections of sedimentary strata, as it is known, is evidence of the change of conditions of sedimentation. At the same time, the boundaries between the layers may have varying degrees of expression.

The structure of the pore-fracture space of carbonate reservoir rocks determines the ability of the rock to accommodate liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons or other fluids.

At present there are new opportunities for further development of V.I.Vernadsky's concept of geochemical cycles of elements in the Earth's crust.

The imagination of the ancients gives you an abundance of definitions of the age of your world. For example, the Bible gives the Earth no more than 6 thousand years, and for the ancient Indian mythology and 4 billion years is not a term, it is one day of life of Brahma.

In the process of large-scale geological survey in the east of the Leningrad region were drilled many wells, the core of which allowed to obtain new information about the structure of the Anthropogenic strata and material criteria for its dissection.

The problem of reliable dissection of the Quaternary sediments of the north-western part of European Russia is now particularly acute in connection with the geological survey on a scale of 1:50,000 and the search for minerals necessary for the national economy.

When considering the dynamics of bottom shelf landforms, the forces that organize and support the life of these landforms are usually taken into account.

The study of deep-sea sediments began as early as 1873-1876 during the Challenger circumnavigation expedition.

In connection with the ever-increasing attempts to use the systems approach in engineering geological research, an important task of analyzing and defining the appropriate range of concepts and terms, on the basis of which it would be possible to set new problems and search for new solutions.

The setting, or "environment", of sedimentation is a kind of reservoir with a certain set of physical, chemical and biological characteristics, in which the sedimentation process is carried out.

The analysis of sedimentary textures of sedimentary rocks is one of the most important points in the program of their lithological study.

Temporal and spatial periodicity of events and structural compositions is a law of the structure and evolution of the Earth as a material body.

Olivine crystals of cosmic origin are widely used as natural detectors of nuclear radiation in the search for superheavy elements in meteorites.

In the study of geomorphology and the latest tectonics of the Earth's crust, space photomaterials (photographs, diagrams, etc.) are increasingly used.
